Two things (& the most common with jdbc):
1) JDBC & Postgres doesn't like null usernames nor passwords, so they
have to be set. If it's a trust, then the username has to be real, but
the password must contain something.
2) Has he set pg_hba.conf for the client, and is -i arg set on
postmaster?

Hi. I'm not familiar with the Java interface, and not familiar with
the rst package. I've reposted this to the "interfaces" mailing list,
which is the best place to ask for information.
Good luck.
